Rain again, just like yesterday and the day before that. Heavy rain that pounded on the roof tops like a drum being played horrendously. Though the sound of the rain was far more soothing and alluring than a simple beating of a ill played drum. Outside, beyond the glass of the window pane, a torrential downpour cloaked the world in a hazy curtain of mystical illusion. All the people outside desperately ran for shelter from the rain.
On the corner of Marble Street, hidden among the stretch of shops, was a little video rental store named "Hal's Video Rental". This tiny store was no Blockbuster store however it supplied the small town of Havenport with a place to check out videos at a low cost. Inside this box of a store, were rows of movies on racks alphabetize by name. Despite the numerous times trying to clean the carpets, they still looked dingy and riddled with stains caused by various of soft drinks and liquid candy. The movie racks had a slight film of rust forming upon its aged metallic surface. The floursent lights over head flickered on and off with a buzzing noise accompanying the flickering. The sole window was perched in the front of the store with fadded smudges upon its glossy glass shell. The cramped gray colored counter stood at the front of the store overlooking the entrance.
Marcus went up and down the aisle of movies categorize by the letter "C". Sadly some patrons didn't put forth the effort to return the movies that they took off the rack back to their rightful place. It was suppose to be time for his break but he was the only one manning the store tonight. However, Marcus always worked on his break time. It wasn't anything new and sadly he grew accustomed to it. The filing of movies helped keep his mind distracted by all the sorrow that was welled up deep inside him. Anything to keep his mind preoccupied so the faces of his deceased wife and children wouldn't haunt his thoughts. Marcus sighed as he dropped a movie to the floor. His bent his tall dark skinned frame over to pick up the object. His shaved head showing bumps along his scalp.
